Firefox has always presented itself to developers as a browser that allows customization. While this can often be painful from the point of view of user experience, it also provides great power in extensibility and innovation. Jetpack has always embraced the idea of modification and extension but only for shallow integrators where we felt some responsibility to help direct better user experience guidelines through offering only elements that would lend themseleves to that better experience. While that does a great deal to help keep the experience clean, it also frustrates those who want to integrate more deeply into the browser. With a new focus on Deep Integrators we want to take the modification idea to Firefox Chrome (user interface) in a similar manner in which we answered the modification question with web pages.

 

Chrome mods will allow the developer to easily alter Firefox chrome in a manner that is very similar to page-mods with the exception that the chrome being altered must first be properly identified before the developer can alter that element.
